The chicken pad thai is of good size with proper chicken pieces. The beef massaman is tender and rich in flavours. The coconut rice is creamy with sprinkled sesame seeds for a nice touch. This is authentic Thai at its best and never disappints.

The class was fantastic! it was me and my fiance's first cooking class. I have cooked thai food before but the insights and tips and tricks that I receive from the chef was WOW! very useful and adds more flavour and more authentic taste to the dishes! highly recommended for any level or experience of cooking. Kaenkaew brings passion and beautiful positive energy to the class. Her husband Nigel is also very hospitable and very friendly! Thanks so much to the whole team for the experience. We will definitely come again for the second menu.

Four of us attended Kaew's Cooking School day on Saturday and had a great time. It was lots of fun, we did a little work (but only a little) and learned how to prepare some great dishes - Pad Thai, Green Curry, Spring Rolls, Tom Yum soup. We 'taste tested,' ie scoffed, heaps and heaps and took more home with us. Highly recommended as a great gift for the would-be chef in your household - and you'll be the winner!

Highly recommended - Refreshing fun hugely generous Thai cooking experience in a purpose built kitchen ! 2 kids and myself learnt how to cook 4 delicious dishes - Spring rolls, Pad Thai, Green Thai chicken and Tom Yum. Kaew is amusing, very down to earth and shares all her secrets to producing delicious Thai - even the best brand coconut cream to buy, where to get the freshest produce at cheapest prices, the secrets to non gluey noodles, now to keep your pastes, palm sugar ... They provided us with HUGE servings of each meal and even take away !
I can highly recommend this courses for everyone

We attended the cooking class number 1 and it was a pleasure to learn from Kaew, who showed us how to cook authentic Thai dishes. Kaew was very friendly, professional and extremely passionate about good Thai cooking; using the best ingredients. She showed us many interesting and helpful tips to produce terrific recipes.
Would highly recommend people doing this course.

Firstly the restaurant contacted me when I ordered the fish green curry. They told me that the fish was not fresh and they refused to make the curry with it. That tells me what kind of quality standards they have - excellent. The green curry was incredibly tasty and one of the best I’ve had. I don’t order rice and, often, restaurants give you small portions of curry and minimal vegetables and expect you to get full on the rice. However this was different. There was plenty of seafood and an abundance of vegetables. Will be ordering from them again soon!

Had never heard about or noticed this place until just last week. Thai is probably our favourite take away food and I have to say this is now our favourite. We ordered the chicken cashew (extra spicy), chicken with oyster sauce and pork spring rolls. The spring rolls were delicious and actually had a lot of filling, unlike many places you go to where filling is non existent. The chicken cashew was great, the chef actually listened and made this spicy. Nice mix of chicken and vegetables. The chicken in oyster sauce was also really nice and our two young boys loved it. The serving sizes were really
